I try not to bore my readers.

I managed to take a family trip to the Bahamas and it was quite lovely.

My weakness is wearing too much leopard print.

I have considered rap music stars, and there is one in my new book, Lovers and Players, and there is also a hip-hop music mogul who I think you will like a lot.

I really fall in love with my characters, even the bad ones. I love getting together with them. They tell me what to do; they take me on a wild and wonderful trip.

If you want to be a writer-stop talking about it and sit down and write!

Love does not appear with any warning signs. You fall into it as if pushed from a high diving board.

Do not copy my style! The first rule of writing is write about what you know, not what you think you know. So, think about what you've done in your life and write about that.

If you want to achieve your dreams, you must follow them, and the best way to follow them is not to think about wanting to be very rich, but to think about doing something that you really want to do.

Whatever you have a passion for, then you must do. If you want to write, write about something you know about.

If you wrote a page a day, at the end of the year you would have a book. Whether it's any good or not is beside the point, but you would have a book, instead of just talking about it all the time.

There is no pain but to genuinely hurt a friend.

In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable.

The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God." ~ Mere Christianity, By C. S. Lewis

Most of the choices we make each day may feel like the products of well-considered decision making, but they’re not. They’re habits.

Principles are like sheaths. It doesn't have the sharp edge to cut something, but it can cover that sharp edge. So that no one gets hurt.

God's Law of Cause and Effect: Your rewards in life will always be equal to the amount and quality of service rendered, in the long run.

Not Carnegie, Vanderbilt, and Astor together could have raised money enough to buy a quarter share in my little dogs.

I'm getting more and more comfortable out on the golf course with the changes I've been making. It's really just a confidence thing in that I love being in contention.

But if it's true it's beautiful. Truth is beautiful. And so my whole work is about what amounts to a reverence for life itself.

There live not three good men unhanged in England; and one of them is fat and grows old.
